1. Law school does not teach you how to be a lawyer. Maybe it teaches you how to think like a lawyer, but I could have went to paralegal school for that and saved $200,000. So, thanks for that, Georgetown. Much appreciated.
2. Law firms like to give you lots and lots of free alcohol and free (bad for you) food.
3. Lots of free alcohol + lots of free (bad for you) food = Lots of non-free shopping because you've gained too much weight to fit into your formerly "skinny" clothes. Damn it.
4. Do. Not. Piss. Off. The. Secretaries.
5. Running 3.1 miles is doable!
6. Running 3.1 miles with a blister is less doable.
7. Blister gel/cream preventer stuff does not work.
8. There are exactly 16 Black people in my firm. Total.
9. It's so easy to spend money when you've got money.
10. Don't ever take a job where you have to bill hours. Trust me on this.
11. It is totally appropriate to wear flat jeweled sandals to the club in June, and don't let anyone tell you differently.
12. Rooftop parties are fun.
13. Walking through an alley that smells like a schizophrenic homeless woman's underwear to get to said rooftop party is not fun.
14. The attractive, Black, cool, male lawyer is not totally an urban legend. If only I could remember his name...
15. As long as you look busy and type furiously, no one will bother you while you're on your computer at work. Even if you're blogging.
Happy Friday!
S.
P.S.- 16. Three day weekends should be mandatory.
